I’m happy to share that I have passed my PhD viva at the University of Galway. I would like to sincerely thank my supervisor Dr. Sara Farrona, external (Professor Daniel Schubert), and internal examiners and all members of @farronalab.bsky.social alongside collaborators for their support.

A splendid and beautifully illustrated review of plant circadian biology ⏰🌱 by Stacey L. Harmer ⭐ So many fascinating players! EARLY BIRD (EBI) 🐤 is one of them — and one we’re keen to learn more about. rdcu.be/fgB5T

Can we tune a plant’s epigenetic toolkit to disrupt plant homeostasis in ways that enable phenotypic innovation? 🌱Check out our new Opinion Paper with @thanvisrikant.bsky.social discussing this topic in @cp-trendsplantsci.bsky.social! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

To me, this is incredibly beautiful and wonderous. Such clean, small liquids are holding a plethora of molecules I leveraged nature to create exactly as I want them. Picturing it in my mind then making them in these invisible liquids is just incredible to me. This is why I'm a molecular biologist.
